Following an upgrade to the Matsyagandha Express this week, a city passenger association has listed eleven trains from Maharashtra that have been pending for an upgrade to LHB class coaches. Six months after mid-day highlighted how a commuter had escaped unhurt on board the rattled and broken Matsyagandha Express train, the Southern Railway had earlier this week upgraded the entire set of trains with hi-end and brand new LHB class coaches. 

The to the LHB or Linke-Hofmann-Busch (LHB) coaches makes them safer offering comfortable rides for passengers. The LHBs have an anti-telescopic design and anti-climbing features (which means they do not climb on each other in case of collisions) and can operate at higher speeds.
